The most influential and always right trio of trailblazers in their own right: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, @HillaryClinton , and @SpeakerPelosi . May we raise our daughters to recognize these true heroes and women who have earned our utmost respect.

@trumpsatwit Skyrizi is equally awful. I don’t understand commercials for drugs at all though- I trust my doctors for prescriptions, not some ad executive who thinks a catchy tune will be great enough to make you demand that medicine you don’t need.
